Ruchirangad Sharma

Esteemed Delegates!

My name is Ruchiangad Sharma, and I am honored to be the Head Chair for this DISEC committee in the 67th edition of Berkeley Model United Nations! I will be accompanied by a lovely group of people, Habiiba, Jolie and Shayna, who's intros you can find on this blog! I am super excited to get to know you all and hopefully all is going well on your end!

So a little bit about me: I am currently a Sophomore here at UC Berkeley intending to study Economics and Business Administration. I love the course material and am really interested in this field mostly because of the huge part it plays in day to day life. When I am not swamped with work, I like to blow off steam by playing Cricket with some of my friends or even just watching it! (World Cup in June, so I am pumped!). Apart from that, I also love to watch TV shows, with some of my favorites being Sherlock, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Chuck.

With regards to my topics, I chose them because they play a super important part in today's global conversations. Cyberterrorism and military aid (provision) are issues that need to be addressed now more than ever and hence debating on them in these sessions would be pivotal to allow each and every single one of you to understand its implications and how, if possibly, it can be resolved.

In the weeks leading up to the conference, my vice chairs and I will be posting articles and other important information that will be helpful for your research and will hopefully give you more exposure to these topics. Please feel free to comment on these posts to ask for clarifications, questions or even just to spark a discussion. BMUN is above all, a learning conference, and so the more we engage with one another, the more we will learn and grow!

Please feel free to reach me at any time throughout this process, and see you all soon!!

~Ruchir!

Is Cyberterrorism = Terrorism?

Hi Delegates! Hope your research is coming along well. In today's post, I wanted to shed light on the topic of cyber terrorism and how seriously they are considered as threats. If you can recall from the topic synopsis, it was stated that the UN still does not have a proper definition for cyberterrorism and hence why it is so imperative to discuss these issues. In an article released late last year by BBC, it was stated that the UK considers a cyber-security threat as serious as general terrorism, especially after the 600 cyber attacks that required a national response within the last year. This included the attack on the NHS in May last year that resulted in the disrupted hospital and GP appointments. So the real question is this - should every country link cyber-terrorism to the same threat level as general terrorism? Why or why not? Would it help open up the discussion on cyber terrorism? Here is the link to the article: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-41547478 Give it a ...

Inequality in the Distribution of Military Aid

Hey delegates! As it gets closer to conference, it is very important that everyone begins to consolidate ideas and grasp a good understanding of certain aspects of the topics. For the topic of military aid, one aspect that we would urge you all to pay attention to is how countries distribute military aid. For example, as noted in our topic synopsis, the regional distribution of US aid is highly disproportionate - over half of aid goes to the Middle East, while equally tumultuous regions in Africa get less than 25 percent. We want delegates to think about the explanation for this unequal distribution of military aid, not just from the US, but from many other countries as well. In addition, I urge everyone to learn about the impacts of this unequal distribution for the regions that receive less attention. A pretty significant example of this is the famine in Somalia that peaked in 2017 and is still ongoing. The article I would like to present to you today is published by Al Ja...

Critical Infrastructure

In discussions of cyberattacks, one of the most widely-used terms is "critical infrastructure"--infrastructure that is integral in society's functioning. For example, consider the energy grid. If the power in a large city were to go out for an extended period of time, it would impact hospitals and emergency services. In the winter, a lack of heat can be life-threatening in cold areas. In fact, attacks against power grids have already begun--Russia, for example, hacked Ukraine's power grid in 2015, shutting off the power in Kiev, Ukraine's capital. Although the attacks only lasted a few hours, they demonstrated the potential of hacks against critical infrastructure and the need for strong cyber-protection ( More information on the Russia-Ukraine hack .). Other kinds of critical infrastructure include: Communications Chemicals Critical Manufacturing Dams Defense Bases Food and Agriculture Emergency Services Financial Services Healthcare Transporta...
